Any chance you can spend more time towards the end of your videos talking about the design of your boat, key decisions you’re making / contemplating, how the timeline is shifting, what you’re working on in the background, etc. Even a more detailed walkthrough of your boat explaining shell thickness, utility placement and your thought process. You’re such a smart guy, I’m keen to hear more about how your experience is being reflected in the build. Love your stuff mate - don’t take this as criticism, just some feedback from a fan who wants to see you continue to succeed in everything you do!

[@brentpenfold1795]

Hi Samantha, Plukky has gone over all his design thoughts and decisions in earlier videos, starting over 2 years ago with the Mumby 48. His journey has been both an experience for him, and an education for us. :o)

Why do you feel the need to compare your build to the Delos build, different boats for different uses.

You haven't been paying attention. They both agreed to the competition and comparison using their own experience, beliefs, design skills, finances, and friendship. Pay more attention next time.

[@claverton]

@@caledoniawarrior not taking sides in this ...to me it's just an interesting technical comparison, but just to set the record straight I don't think Delos agreed to any sort of competition ... ie the "both agreed" part isn't true. Happy to be corrected though ;)

LOL! I cant help but to like this bloke. My heart broke for him and his lady when they grounded onto that reef. I really enjoyed the old vids with the random hotties sailing along, having fun being young and free. The ‘competition’ with Delos is fine with me. But the crew building Delos 2.0 are SOLID craftsman, as far as I can tell. Which isn’t to say that the. Vietnamese crew are not well trained craftsman, they certainly seem to be so. Im retired living on an embarrassingly humble SS pension. But I still support various favorite sailing creators. It isn’t much in anyone’s world… but I am switching my little contribution over to Sailing Into Freedom, after this next cycle. Man, I hope you hang in there and see this through. I’d love to see a workin’ man cutting through the water on that fine alumi-vessel.

Thanks for the great comment and support but i tell you what....Write a comment every week and like the video and that is a contribution that will be greatly appreciated by the channel and enough from you. I hope i don't upset you but please keep your pension for a rainy day, or buy a pineapple and celebrate with us when we splash. Yes we have money issues at the moment but i cant have too many people give up their dough because i must just get too cocky... and besides, what makes Sailing into Freedom is the struggle.... and disasters... remove those and there aint much left.
